Please never worry what others say about the look of your meals!! You’re feeding nine people from scratch, nursing a baby, homeschooling five kids full time, washing clothes, washing dishes, keeping your home clean, meal planning, dehydrating food, grinding oats, grinding different wheats, making sure chores are done, making sure all the animals survive the day, and I’m sure much more. Plus everything required to run a TH-cam channel!
I don’t know of many other 42 year olds capable of completing nearly as much as you do every day!

My theory, if folks have a holyer than thou attitude about the way a house other than their own is ran they can either man up and shut up and pitch in doing the doing or shut up and run away 'cause if they are going to kvitch they are of no good use just tasteless salt and clanging cymbals completely worthless. If they see doing not being done and pitch in they are a friend.
Jessica: I woke up 20 minutes early today bc the dog needed to go outside. The deal I made with myself is that if you had uploaded your video already, I would go ahead and get up for the day. (And make coffee and watch your video.) If not, I would go back to sleep 😂 You had uploaded, so here I am! All that to say, I look forward to your Sunday uploads - a little “me time” and inspiration before church!
Totally agree Laura!
Same Routine Here! Dogs, Coffee, Jessica = Me Time! Every Sunday! 😊😊😊
@@tammycarr9637 yup me too, I am babysitting granddog so we got up early
Me Too!! Truly enjoy them. I do feel bad when you have to address the naysayers. I don't care what something looks like if it's yummy and you and your family enjoy it. Who cares. I've made some ugly rustic dinners and loved the end product. Sorry you have to apologize to some viewer beforehand. You rock mama..
What a lovely way to spend your ‘me’ time ❤
People who leave rude comments clearly don’t understand how much work it is to homeschool and feed so many children. You’re doing great!
Your pantry challenge is way more than meals so I don’t mind seeing repeats. I enjoy seeing how your day unfolds….seeing the daily homesteading life. Thanks for all of the effort you put into these videos.
I agree!
I also agree! I like seeing full days, whether they're repeats or not, but I totally understand that it's more work to show us the repeats.
I know people make negative comments about the appearance of some of your food. It used to drive me crazy you felt you needed to explain. Then i realised most people really dont know what real food is. You are educating them. If they only knew what they were missing... My mouth waters when i watch you cook. It's REAL food!! Not plastic processed pretty little pieces of nothingness! Don't even get me started on how much better real food taste!!!
I applaud you for sticking to your high standards! I was raised eating homemade and my kids were raised the same way! We are much healthier because of it. God bless😁
So happy you concentrate on nourishing meals rather than listen to grumpy comments about what things look like. You're a very good mom!
Definitely! Feeding a family is about much more than how the food looks!
Sarah, from “Our Tribe of Many”, pours her pancake batter onto sheet pans & bakes them in the oven. Cuts them with a pizza cutter. Her kids love it & she’s not flipping pancakes for a long time.
I came here to say I use a half sheet pan and bake my pancakes for my family of 6. It lets everyone eat hot pancakes at the same time with minimal effort. I also cook my omelette and bacon in the oven too
Huh. What a neat idea!
Jessica, You could take a community poll. My guess is we would gladly all watch repeat meals. I know I would! I love your videos!
Jessica, no apologies needed, you say what comes to you as you share your experience with us.♥️ We love and appreciate you!
Jessica. Your a breath of fresh air please never apologize for your food’s appearance, your little ones say it all.
HOW absolutely gorgeous is baby Hannah...a living doll..love to you all from Australia.
I wish there was a button to love your videos. To thumbs up them just isn’t enough to express how much I value them 😀
Tip for dairyfree ‘parmezan’: equal parts cashews, sunflower-seeds and nutritional yeast, garlicpowder and salt to taste. Grind to powder. Enjoy!
Yes! This is so good! I do it without the cashews and its great too, but I'm gonna try it this way! I add a little paprika, pepper and other seeds😍
Look at Hannah grow!
I love your idea of making the muffins in a pie pan, how smart! Thank you for keeping this challenge going and for sharing the meals you make for your family. Count me as one who would not mind seeing repeats because if that's what they want, that's what you cook and making them out of your pantry is no different than making a new meal each night.
"On this day" is your catch phrase. Don't apologize.
I do really like the way you’ve grouped the foods/meals by category this time!!
And baby Hannah is SUCH a beautiful baby 🥰
Your knowledge regarding any kind of food is incredible!!!! Were you a dietician before you were a SAHM? Your family is incredibly blessed to have you!!!!!
You amaze me every week with what you achieve, Jessica.
Honestly, with a new baby, a husband and seven older children to look after, you're doing a fabulous job. What a wonderful example you're setting your children.
The roses from hubby for each of your daughters was such a lovely thought.
Baby Hannah is really thriving. She's beautiful x
I can't begin to express how much joy your videos bring me. Seeing your beautiful children make me smile. My youngest is 14 and the time went by so fast. I miss when they were little. Thank you for all the hard work you put in to bring us along on your journey. You are very creative with your meals...and you inspire me.
You might try making your pancakes or johnny cakes by pouring the batter into cookie sheets and baking instead of cooking on the stovetop. Just cut into squares to serve. They bake in a short time so even if you have to do a couple of rounds in the oven it's still faster than flipping that many pancakes on the stovetop. I find using parchment paper or foil and a little cooking spray or oil makes them release from the pan easier.
Sheet pan pancakes would be much less hands on!
Hi Jessica, you have a lot of great content! I’ll have to try the muffins in a pie pan. You are creative in thinking outside the box. I tend to be mostly a recipe follower and then I might make some changes after making it a few times. Baby Hannah is beautiful and so are the rest of your children in the way they conduct themselves.
I love your videos. It makes someone like me, who doesn’t homestead but dreams of it, take a look at what I have and how I can use it up!
It's so impressive that you are able to manage so many food allergies/sensitivities. We have similar issues in our home and I know how hard that is! Have a Blessed Sunday.
Oh my goodness, I hate cleaning muffin tins too. I make muffin cake in my house. 🙂
Your challenge is extremely popular with other TH-cam channels so I wanted to see the creator(you) and I am so thrilled I did just that. Jessica, you are amazing, knowledgeable, inspiring and all the other wonderful things that is good in this world. Lovely channel and thank you for sharing your time with us. Much appreciation from a new subscriber 👍🇨🇦
I never mind repeat meals, I enjoy seeing your children/family and look forward to your Sunday posts.
We had our son 3 weeks ago, and my husband got paper plates as a gift to ourselves🤣 I've surprised myself with how creative I've gotten trying to save those paper plates!
Your food looks amazing! Stop saying it doesn’t look appealing! Who cares what others think. Haters can scroll on by or just remove themselves from your channel. Your family is fed delicious, nutritious meals. Period! 💜
If your lemons and other citrus items are organic then you can make some powerful anti-virals with the peels. Sliced lemon peels and raw honey makes an excellent healing tea. Also I've really enjoyed making my own homemade bio-enzyme cleaner with citrus peels and some yeast. It's excellent for laundry, plumbing and even minor fungal control in your garden! Could make some fun science projects and would give you options while supply chain issues last. All the best to you and your family 😁🙏🏽
Give yourself a break….. your food is always nutritious and those who may criticize, they don’t do all that you do and you aren’t going to please everyone obviously! Go MOM!! GREAT JOB
I giggled when you slipped and started to say "ugly biscuits", because we have a recipe that's actually called Ugly Biscuits. They're also a drop biscuit and not the prettiest, but they taste good and our children love them! I admire your ability to navigate the various allergies and feed your family well.
Just came on to say.....that baby face ahhhh ☺️
So sweet and tiny!!
I am single and you are still such an inspiration for me 🥰 I make my own overnight oats/chia pudding, it’s a combination of chia seeds, oats, soy protein powder, and soy milk. I am allergic to cows milk. I have been so so careful with my berries from the summer, but now I am thinking about you and that it is actually January and I have plenty so I can just enjoy them while they are still good. I found a box of both blueberries and raspberries that was a little freezer burned, and a bit gowey. Totally find to eat, but I should just eat them, not portion out 3 at a time 😅 Lord willing there will come more, and I have a lot more, and other berries too. We can’t just preserve and don’t enjoy it, and trusting the Lord with that there will come more, and we should eat up while it’s good is a good lesson.
I love seeing how you feed your family and make do of what you have.
Thank you for sharing!
Love and blessings from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴
Love the pie plate idea for muffins! Excited to try!
Cooking dairy free is tough! I got bite by a tick last year so I have Alpha gal syndrome now and am deathly allergic to all red meats and pork along with all dairy, cheese, gelatine, some medications and vaccines and I cannot be around any fumes while those meats are cooking. My husband has been so sweet and supportive. We had to switch to all birds and seasfoods. Lots of veggies and fruits. All wholefoods.
Alpha gal is a carb that mammals produce... so while we can eat mammals and be OK, if it gets into our blood stream we react... I had anaphylaxis... my throat, mouth, tongue, cheeks, and even the top of my head swelled up, all different times, but 6 times in just 1wk... my stomach was so swelled up with in a 4mo period that my OB Dr. checked for a baby and then cancer... but then we found out what I had at the allergist and it all made sense... but after so many reaction so close together I decided that benadryl wasn't cutting it and went to Urgent care... from there I was put on a heavy dose of ceterizine, benadryl, monalucast, and prednisone... got into a allergist and he did the skin prick test and blood work and it was found in my blood. But it's OK :-) I am alive and enjoying learning how to cook differently! :-)
What a beautiful photo shot of mama and baby. I respect you so much. The Mom of eight children with a new born and you work so hard. Love your videos.
“On this day” is one of my favorite things to hear you say. ❤
Hats off to you! I am an empty nester and during the shut downs while my husband was working from home I decided to cook 3 meals a day. It lasted maybe a week! 🙂 Part of the problem was just timing "lunch" vs his meetings but the main problem was that it was HARD work! We quickly went back to our routine of - he is on his own for breakfast, lunch was last nights leftovers then I cook a good meal for dinner plus extra for lunch the next day. You are a super mom! Now go sit down for a minute with your feet up and a cup of tea because you earned it.
What a beautiful family you have, little Miss Hannah could not be any cuter! Al of your meals looked so good and nutritious and boy ending it with that beautiful brisket made my mouth water, thank you for sharing.
THAT LITTLE FACE♥️‼️‼️‼️Hannah is SO DANG CUTE‼️ IM DYIN’HERE♥️‼️😆😂😫🙋♀️🥰♥️‼️YAY BABIES♥️‼️
Beautiful baby, and well behaved kids, good job.
That Baby girl is growing and absolutely just BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE SEEING ADAM AND KIDS @DINNER TABLE. EVERY SUNDAY MS. JESSICA YOU TAKE ME HOME. YOUR CHANNEL IS #1. LOVE TO OUR OHIO YOU TUBE FAMILY
It’s also going to on Facebook. It’s spreading all over. Thanks for all of the things I am learning doing this challenge
I really appreciate how you show the various ways you use up odds and ends or small amounts of things or leftovers. I wouldn't call your meals redundant in any way, I call it real life! What you're showing is so helpful and really making a difference. I wish there was a way for you to see what your viewers are doing with the information you are providing because I know you help me so much. Thank you for sharing ❤️
As always, I'm impressed by your creativity. And those baby clothes are gorgeous. The viewer who made them should go into business.
The little guy with the chefs' kiss... ☺
Jessica, you could definitely be redundant on your meals, it’s a pleasure watching you cooking no matter what it is. God bless you and your family.
"on this day" is such a comfort statement. 🙏
I love using canned potatoes for a quick potato salad..
I can't get over that people make rude comments on how your food looks. I'm glad you are getting past the rudeness and doing what you do
Can you put the recipe for the rustin biscuits my sons seen your rustin biscuits and ask for me to make them please and thank you
I’m new here and came over from Keeper of my home. Great video and beautiful family, gives me hope for the future ❤
To make the chia seed pudding a "treat" for the little ones, we called it "FROG EYE" Pudding! We call tapioca pudding that as well. It makes it quite the conversation starter among the little ones.
I always enjoy watching your ideas and continue to get different ideas while watching your videos. It sparks my meal creativity.
On busy mornings I baked my pancake mix in a sheet pan then all I had to do is cut squares which made breakfast go faster. Also a sheet pan with a rack and I’d load it with sausages so a pan of each was ready quickly……I’d always do extra to have for another Sunday breakfast …..
Can you freeze fresh ground flour to keep it longer….?
The muffin "pie" is a great idea for time saving (and cleaning) saving. Have you tried Cookie Sheet Pancakes? That sure does eliminate standing at the stove for an hour flipping pancakes.
The picture of you and baby Hannah is just beautiful.
I love my memories with my mother cooking and baking in the kitchen. I loved getting involved and helping. Special times😊
Interesting to see the children are a mixture of left and right handed.😄
So far just the two older girls are lefties. It will be interesting to see if baby Hannah is also a leftie and continues the pattern!
I love the thoughtfulness of Adam with the roses very sweet.
Jessic you look very nice in pink! 🥰
"On this day " is something I've noticed I picked up from you. I love seeing your children interacting with each other. My youngest is 12, oldest is 26. I miss them all being little and being home. Your videos bring me back to that time. Thank you for sharing your meals and your family with us. We enjoy doing the pantry challenge. God bless!
Thank you most kindly for sharing your homestead with me. As I’ve commented before, I home educated five now adults, and very well accomplished children. I’m a grandparent and enjoying peace and quiet, and not quite so much production, but I did this all similar to you when I was your age. Please, take good care of yourself as you will get lost in motherhood and forget about self-care some days.
Hello Jessica. I really enjoy your channel. I am kind of following your Three Rivers pantry challenge. So in doing that. We found 2 whole chickens from 2020. So we roasted them in our crockpots and canned chicken soup and made 7 quarts of chicken broth as we had just used the last of our chicken broth the week before. Also I spoke to a lady at the store yesterday who was looking at canning lids. I told her about Forjars and told her to check out your channel. Thank you for all your had work.
Every video I learn something from you, what an amazing gift you are giving me and everyone else watching. So, muffins I love but the pans I loathe. It had never crossed my mind to bake the batter in pie plates, that’s genius! Hannah is growing so fast! You forget how fast those little ones sprout until you watch one every week growing in leaps and bounds. Thank you for another great video and many great tips.
Brilliant idea of muffin pies! Love it. Hugs❤
THANK YOU from a sister in christ in Indiana!! You are such an inspirational role model and I am SO blessed to be led to your channel!! Learning so much. Please explain how you deal with children's toys!
Hello dear. I’ve always wanted to try Johnny Cakes. I took a picture of the recipe and stopped the video to make them for my family for breakfast. I used 1 cup cornmeal and 1/2 cup flour. They loved them! My grandson who is 7 and a picky eater ate 5! -Natalie
Thank you for sharing. Little Hannah is so beautiful! Those flowers were a sweet surprise!
Jessica what a beautiful child of God your daughter 😊
I look forward to your videos each week...I love the simple but delicious meals you serve your family !! Have a blessed day today & that pink sweater looks fabulous on you it makes your skin glow ..and as usual your hair is amazing !! Absolutely beautiful this morning !
When feeding a family the most
Important is the nutrition and the second is the taste. Looks are at the bottom of the list! Full bellies and happy family is the most important! God bless you and your family
We put Montreal steak seasoning in just about everything savory. The other day we hosted a big family turkey and ham dinner and we used the seasoning in the gravy and on the turkey breast. Amazing ! Thanks for sharing 🥰❄☃🌷💗✝
Today we had some leftover taco/empanada meat and potato mixture. I tossed it in some eggs and my kids LOVED it! Hoping to get better at using what we have and not wasting
I just needed to say baby Hannah is absolutely adorable !!
I only had 2 children and we had hamburger helper alot and spaghetti and no allergies to food,.
You are a amazing mom and wife. You are so caring for your family. God bless you.
Glad to see someone else doesn't go with the muffin pan ..I put mine in a cake pan 😊
Love to watch you use up all the previous meals leftovers with new meals, so frugal.
I think my girls were elementary age before they realized that you could make muffins instead of baking the batter in a pie pan or square baker. It was just so much easier to clean.
I don't even own a muffin tin so I have always just made a muffin "cake" too. But if we make cupcakes I just set cupcake liners in a pan kinda squeezed together and fill them up and bake.
Please do not apologize for how your meals may look.I doubt anyone will be able to serve restaurant food every day 3 x a day, even without a large family. Taste is more important than looks and your family enjoys it.
I recently just found out I'm pregnant with baby #2 and it's bringing me down mentally: I truly wanted to participate this year and record but maybe I'll be able to next year instead!! I'm silently participating ❤️
Thank you for your weekly videos! I love them!
Congratulations!!
@@threerivershomestead thank you!!! 🙏
God bless you!! ❤️
Hi Jessica! Please don’t apologize for your “on this day”. You saying this phrase is one of the unique charming things about your presentation no matter how many times you say it. I appreciate and respect you for being you. Don’t change or apologize! Best wishes. Renee from Michigan
Jessica as always it's a pleasure watching what you create and I thought of you as I put away boxes and boxes of canning jars that I need to do some serious canning up. We had our waterline replaced 3 weeks ago ( outside) then our inside waterlines got messed up ( corrosion worked loose during the outside work) so I've been waiting on insurance to pay for the plumbers to come back out so in the meantime I am not trusting of canning anything with corroded water we've been filtering what we drink. Wednesday they'll be here to replace the lines so definitely will be doing a lot of canning to fill those jars back up. We were home all last week with the big C and so thankful for my pantries and freezers we bought absolutely nothing from the stores except a bottle of Nyquil and Kleenex. Praise the Lord I am now Negative. Its taught me a lot about what being prepared means thankful I listened to God over the years and stocked up on a lot of blankets, towels and sheets since I don't have a washing machine because of the low pressure.. we did fine. Hannah is looking so healthy and happy thank you for sharing her and the kids. Anna In Ohio
Thank you for sharing the muffin pie pan tip. I have a 24 muffin tin that I thought would be a good idea for our large family but the pan is so big it barely fits in the sink! The kids complain when it's their turn to wash it lol. They will be much happier washing a pie pan:)
You are fantastic ! Love you +++ from France !!! Blessings +++!!!
You have a beautiful baby girl there. I like the way you show us your pantry challenge. Keep hanging in there girl. We love ya!
If you blend soaked cashews with garlic, salt ,lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and corn starch, and a little water you get a cheesy sauce that gets brown and crispy when baked on a pizza. We use it in lasagna, pizza, backed potatoes, nachos, and stuffed zucchini
Getting VERY Close to the "100,000 Subscribers"!!
You are inspirations to so many!! ❣
I absolutely like the format where you take us through your day better. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks. I think it also helps us see better what you do with your leftovers.
Food doesn,t always have to be pretty to be good. You are an amazing Mama and I enjoy immensely watching your videos.
I absolutely appreciate how you give full disclosure on the "look" of your food, and LOVE that you show us everything you make. Rarely does my dinner EVER look like it does on the cover of a magazine, but it's edible all the same! So thank you for helping me be okay that my meals may not be "picture perfect"!!!
You and your new baby are so beautiful! You and your husband are such a blessing for people looking for what is still real and good in this world. I pray that you will be able to let these people that are hurting in this world not hurt you because you are truly a gift from God. Your family is so blessed to have you and so am I to have found your channel. I pray God blessing you and your family.
Our DIL and son have hard water and she tosses vinegar into the dishwasher w the dishes. She will also run the occasional empty dishwasher just w vinegar to help keep the parts working. Not sure if this can help or not
Jessica you are amazing. I appreciate all your videos. It has made me think a lot of using our food up and being mindful of leftovers.
Freeze dried eggs are 2 Tbs egg to 2 Tbs water = 1 egg so everything after that is just equal measure of each
My daughter loves watching your videos, especially the "sweet baby" (her quote every time Hannah pops up on screen)
Lol I have my little girl listening to you while we do tummy time. She keeps trying to swipe you!!! 🤗 I love babies! You
2:32
Delicious REAL food. You are a super mom. I LOVE your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you again for sharing your time and recipes and your family, seems like they are growing fast, take care, God bless
I always enjoy your videos. Please don’t take it to heart when people comment on your food. I think you are fabulous and you are doing a great job. And Adam bringing you three roses…..well that is just sweet. Cheers 🇨🇦🌷🇨🇦
I really enjoy your videos! We are a family of 8 and love your recipes! It’s our first time participating in the pantry challenge and it’s been so fun! Thank you! God bless 🙏🏼
Look forward to seeing your videos love you're channel god bless you all x
Great tip on using pie pan. 👏👏👏👏
